Write on the board Are (penguins) endangered? and
encourage students to use the question when they
want to find out about a specific animal. Hand out
colored pencils (see Materials) as needed, and invite
students to use them to color these animals. Do a
visual check of students’ worksheets.

Ask students to point to and name the animals in
the activity. Tell students that all these animals are
endangered. Read the first paragraph aloud and
have students follow along. Clarify any unfamiliar
vocabulary. Ask students what colors the giant
panda is (black and white). Invite them to color it.
